There is something so calming and fun about a good pair of crochet fingerless gloves or mitts, don’t you agree?! I personally am a HUGE fan of crochet gloves and mittens because they give you all the warmth you need with all the flexibility you need at the same time!!
All of the patterns I’m sharing with you here in this blog post are fingerless patterns because they are my favourite! As a busy Mum I just don’t have time to keep taking gloves on and off all the time to do/sort/wipe/pick up and other Mum stuff so fingerless gloves are always the way to go for me!

What Yarn Should I Use To Crochet Fingerless Gloves and Mitts?
I often get asked what sort of yarn works best for crochet gloves. The answer for me is simple, something that feels soft and luxurious. I know that lots of people find yarn with a high wool content quite irritating but you can get some really beautifully soft yarns that won’t be scratchy at all.
Merino Yarn
For many years I’ve tried to convince my Mum to treat herself and use some nice luxurious yarn for a change, especially when it’s a small project (not too expensive that way) and even more especially when it’s for her!
I would recommend going for a yarn like Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk which is 75% Merino Wool, 20% Silk, 5% Cashmere, 50g/170m and will feel so soft and gentle on your skin! (They also do a double knit weight too). Another great option would be King Cole Merino Blend 4 Ply which is 100% wool, 50g/180m and very definitely not scratchy at all!
Acrylic Yarn
Until recently I think lots of us thought of acrylic yarn as the squeaky, poor relation to ‘real wool’ but there are some amazing products out there now that are soft, a joy to work with, come in a huge range of colours and are also really inexpensive too!

I love working with Stylecraft Bambino double knit acrylic yarn, which is 100% acrylic and so great for sensitive skin. (100g/268m). If you’re looking for a yarn with a mix of merino and acrylic then Lion Brand Touch of Merino 3ply is perfect! It’s a beautiful yarn to crochet with and with just 10% merino and 90% acrylic it has the best of both worlds!
